Goodradigbee Rose Gum Reforestation (Revoked)

Goodradigbee Rose Gum Reforestation (Revoked) is a reforestation and afforestation project located in the Goodradigbee River valley, approximately 10km northwest of Wee Jasper and 50km southwest of Yass in New South Wales. It was registered in March 2021 and covers an area of 603.81 hectares. The project aimed to establish permanent plantings of Eucalyptus grandis (Rose Gum) on land previously used for agricultural purposes.

Reforestation and Afforestation 2.0 projects involve establishing permanent forest cover by planting tree species on land that was previously clear of forest for at least five years. A standard requirement for this project type is planting the trees at a sufficient density to ensure the site can achieve a minimum of 20% crown cover and reach at least two metres in height at maturity.

The area surrounding the Goodradigbee Valley is traditionally utilized for cattle and sheep grazing, as well as forestry and nature conservation. Located near the foothills of the Brindabella Ranges, the environment falls into a high rainfall classification, typically receiving 800mm to over 1,500mm annually. Soils in this region generally consist of podzolic soils and earths, with the Wee Jasper area specifically known for its limestone-derived clays and karst landscapes.

Notably, this project has not proceeded to generate carbon credits. It was officially revoked on 23 January 2023 under Section 32 of the Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI) Rule. Following this, its Carbon Abatement Contract (CAC687185), originally secured in May 2021, was formally terminated or lapsed in February 2024. Furthermore, ASIC public records reveal that the proponent company, Jarrah Co Proprietary Limited, was subject to strike-off and proposed deregistration proceedings in August 2023, which likely explains the abandonment and subsequent revocation of the carbon project.
